At her trial, we loved learning how she met her fiancé, Aaron, in Japan and how their relationship grew over the years. Not only is this a fun part of the trial, it really helps us learn about who our brides are. Matching a bride’s vision for hair and makeup is much more than copying a look off a piece of paper – you need a deep understanding of their personality.

In this case, we think we nailed it! Sometimes when it rains the best moments occur, and San Francisco wedding photographer Larissa Cleveland did an amazing job a capturing the spirit of the day. Special thanks to Larissa for these great images, and a big congratulations to Kaori and Aaron!
